How to Sort a 2D List in Flutter Based on a Specific Element

Sorting lists is a common task in programming, and when working with Flutter, you might find yourself needing to sort a 2D list depending on specific elements within those sublists. In this guide, we'll explore how to sort such a list efficiently, based on third or other specified elements from each sublist.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine you have a 2D list (a list of lists) where each sublist contains multiple elements. For instance:

You may want to sort this list based on the third element (the value 2.3, 8.5, 6.5, 7.6, and 3.4 in the respective sublists). The challenge lies in doing this effectively and ensuring that your sorting method can handle various data types, such as integers, floats, and booleans.

Step-by-Step Solution

Basic Sorting by a Specific Index

Firstly, here’s how to sort the list based on the third element (index 2):
